Hi;

I'm in the process of saving some old macs;

I've encountered a difficult issue: only a specific MiniScribe 20mb hard drive works on a se/30.

If I try another drive that boots fine on a IIcx (a 8gb maxtor ide drive with an acard adapter), or any other drive, it does not work.

SE/30 is recapped, I've checked the traces and tried replacing the scsi chip on the motherboard.

Also tried booting from another disk ID.

(also something weird on this mac: opening "Config PPP" program gives an error, either from a boot disk or any system version, can this be hardware related as the drive problem ?)

I run out of ideas
